Hi friends, I hope you are fine and having fun. In my last article, we have discussed Squirrel Cage Induction Motor which is a type of 3 Phase Induction Motor . Today, I am going to tell you about a Wound Rotor Induction Motor , which is also a type of 3 phase induction motor. This motor is the one which uses a wound rotor. I will tell about the construction of a wound rotor later in this article. A Wound Rotor Induction Motor is also known as slip ring induction motor. I will tell you about the construction of Wound Rotor Induction Motor in the first section. In the second section, I would be throwing light on the operation and working principle of Wound Rotor Induction Motor. After that, I will tell you some of the key features and uses of Wound Rotor Induction Motor. Construction of Wou ...
Hello Friends, I hope you all are fine and doing great. I am here with another article on Induction Motors. In this article I am sharing some basic knowledge on Squirrel Cage Induction Motor. In my previous article named as 3 Phase Induction Motor , I have given a brief overview of this Squirrel Cage Induction Motor. A 3 phase induction motor has two types based on the rotor construction, named as: Squirrel Cage Induction Motor and Wound Rotor Induction Motor . Former is cheaper and broadly used as it requires less maintenance than later one. Firstly, I am going to tell you about the structure of squirrel cage induction motor. Afterwards I will cover the working principle and features of Squirrel Cage Induction Motor. In the last sections, I will share some advantages and uses. In simple w ...
Hi fellows! Hoping everyone is fine and doing great. Today, I am going to write about 3 Phase Induction Motor . As I mentioned earlier in my article on Introduction to Induction Motors , there are two types of Induction Motors, Single Phase Induction Motor and 3 phase Induction Motor. 3 phase induction motor is the one which operates on three phase AC supply. It is the most commonly used motor for high load and industrial applications. I would discuss advantages of a 3 phase induction motor later in this article. Three phase induction motors are further divided into two types; Squirrel Cage Induction Motor and Wound Rotor Induction Motor based on the construction of rotor. First of all, I am going to discuss about the construction of 3 Phase Induction Motor and then I will throw some light ...
